So it is now approaching Christmas and my birthday( which is two days after) and that means new things for my car. Although I am only 17 my dad and I are big car guys. I have had some trouble thinking of some mods I would like to do but so far I have decide I want to get black grilles and the BMW performance exhaust. I currently have an 08 328i but doing everything I can to make it the dream 335i I love. I have been considering getting a matte black wrap or the car but I don\'t know the exact prices for that.
You guys got any ideas for me?
I should be posting pictures soon

Your grilles are a good start. What's your budget and goal (show or go)? Wrapping a car will cost upwards of $1,000, unless you DIY.

ahh finally someone else my age, grilles are a good start i wouldnt waste money on an exhaust though, get paint matched reflectors and maybe some new wheels.

My budget is around 2000. I originally was getting subs of that cost but if I don't get that I can spend the on performance

That's about all you are going to get out of an exhaust. You can spend $2,000 on Tune/Intake/Exhaust and maybe see +20 hp if you are lucky, unfortunatly there is not much in power mods for the 328i. Your best bet is to get some light wheels, good tires, and coilovers if you want better performance.

Keep in mind there's only so many mods that you can do for the 328 as opposed to the 335. What color is your car? Get the matte black grilles. Those are sick. Unless you've got some gloss on the car.

As Syndicategt said, there's only so much power you can get out of it. I would invest in some nice wheels and wrap the trip in carbon fiber.

Why do you want the BMW exhaust? I'm sure there are aftermarket ones that are cheaper and some might even sound better. Warranty?

And I want that sound out of the car though. Where do I find light wheels and what not?

My car is black and again what are nice wheels? But with the exhaust the BMW I want it because it gives the sound I want and I have looked at other exhaust but I'm not sure which one are bests cuz most don't reviews?

Who does full exterior wraps for 'upwards' of $1000?

[Syndicategt]

If you are on a tight budget;

Mod Bargains is selling a "new" CSL style wheel that weighs only 21 lbs. It's rotory "forged" similar to most BBS wheels.

You can alsy check out APEX's, they might a very strong lightweight rim. You can find lots of options in the Wheel Vendor section, just beware of cast replicas.

Show me a quality job (including door linings), including materials, done for less. Materials = $300 or more and expect 4-8 hours of labor = ($100/hr). Like I said, you can DIY to save some cash. Most of the jobs I've seen on this forum were over that figure.

No offense, but since you have a 328i, you're going to come very short of your dream 335i. As far as your budget goes, the BMW PE Exhaust will take up roughly half of it. Here are the OEM Performance Grilles you're looking for.

+1 on Syndicategt's suggestion of **********s though. You should be able to find what you're looking for within or around your budget on there.

I don't expect to ever come close to get close to the performance of a 335 but I'm doing my best to get close

If you really want the BMW PE Exhaust, I believe Tischer/GetBMWParts.com will be the best place to purchase it.

Would a performance intake do anything ?

It wouldn't have a noticeable gain. Even on a 335i the gains are hardly noticeable.

It would have a more throaty sound tho right?

Are you on crack? 4-8 hours of labor? Show you a job done for less?

YOU'RE the one that is misinforming the OP and anyone else when YOU said a full wrap will cost 'upwards of $1000' and after making that ill advised statement you ask ME to provide proof!?!? ROFLMAO

I have something planned that I expect it to take about 4 hours, BUT that's with 5-6 installers at once. Regular times are around 10-12 hours with 2 people and twice as long doing it solo.

4-8 hours? ROFLMAO x2

This is a wrap job on a forum member's car, by a forum member. That price is discounted, and it's almost half of your budget. That doesn't add any performance though, OP.
